Hi there, I was reading https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LVM#Failed_mirrors and this page seems to suggest that the LVM mirror works differently from LVM2 RAID-1 in that when one of the two disks involved in the mirror/raid-1 is failed/removed: * LVM mirroring would actually stop working and block IO until the OS is rebooted with vgchange --partial * LVM raid1 would simply continue to work in the degraded mode. I tested both cases and the above is definitely true. But I am simply surprised that is the behavior of LVM mirroring and wonder if there is any way to keep the remaining leg to work without the need to reboot. Thanks a lot, Shi _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
